Our little family has been blessed with some great extended family members. One of those is our fantastic nephew, Nathan. Nathan moved to Greenville to go to school at ECU a little over four years ago.
We loved having him come over and visit us for dinner and to go to church with us on occassion. He became a staple in our lives, and the boys absolutely loved having him around. He was always Evan's go to guy for helping with chores or dog sitting/ house sitting when we went out of town. He even came and sat with the boys while we were in the hospital having Peyton. Fantastic young man!
On May 6th, Nathan graduated from ECU with a bachelor's degree in Engineering. This coincided with our upcoming move, so we were really glad that we were able to see him through his college years, but we were so sad to be moving away from him. He has made us riduclously proud to know him. He has gone through some tough times, times when we worried about him, and times where we marveled at his resiliency. And, he made it through everything to earn that degree on time! :-) Needless to say, we were excited when graduation day rolled around.
Even though he acted like he didn't see us in the stands, we knew that he saw us. haha.
Everyone was so proud.
After the graduation, the entire extended family went out to lunch to celebrate. We had Mexican followed by cake. YUM.
This is Nathan with Sarah, his girlfriend at the time.
These days we call her his fiance. :-) A few weeks after graduation, he popped the question, and she said Yes! We could not be more be excited for them. And the best part? She lives where we moved to. So... three days after we moved in, he moved into our house. Yay for us... He is still around. :-)
We are proud of you Nathan, and so excited for you and Sarah and your future together.
